[QUOTE="groper, post: 445249, member: 12550"] If you dont do your ladder test in conjunction with a chronograph, then you really need to do the ladder testing at as maximum distance possible, ideally 1000yds but anything over 800yds is pretty good too. The reason is to find a load with minimum ES or SD. At shorter distances, its too hard to see the vertical variation caused from the velocity differences rather than just than the normal accuracy dispersion you have aswell. You are wasting your time unless you use a chrony to determine your velocities, in which case you can test at short range. [/QUOTE]
